The Only Clinically Proven Light Sensitivity Glasses

Engineered By A Scientist

Dr. Bradley Katz is a neuro-ophthalmologist, scientist at the University of Utah Moran Eye Center, and founder of Axon Optics. He's been the leading voice on the relationship between light and migraine for over 20 years.

Want to know a secret? Our competitors have been citing his published research as proof their glasses work. Get your light sensitivity glasses directly from Dr. Katz.

Clinically Proven

Our Avulux® lenses underwent an independent, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. It’s the only migraine & light sensitivity lens to ever be proven at this highest standard of clinical testing.

Light Can Be Problematic

Up to 60% of migraine attacks are triggered by light. And approximately 80% of migraine sufferers experience photophobia. 

But not all light is harmful.

Studies have shown that the specific colors of light that actually trigger or worsen migraine attacks and photophobia are blue, amber, and red light. Green light has been shown to have a therapeutic effect, reducing migraine headache severity in a 2016 Harvard study.

How It Works

Axon Optics glasses powered by Avulux® lenses work by filtering out 97% of the harmful light (blue, amber, red) while letting in 70% of the soothing green light.

They don’t block all bad light; we do.

FL-41 and blue light blocking glasses only focus on filtering blue light, but they fall short when it comes to blocking red and amber light.

Avulux® precision-tinted lenses block up to 97% of blue, amber, and red light.

They mistakenly filter green light; we let it in.

Green light can be soothing, yet most light sensitivity lenses filter it out.

Axon Optics powered by Avulux® lenses let in 70% of green light.

They’re inconsistent over time; we’ve solved that.

Most brands merely apply a thin tint to the surface of their lens. If the tint ever gets scratched, you can say goodbye to its light-filtering benefits. Competitors use this method because it’s cheap and easy. 

Avulux light filtering technology is built into the lens at a molecular level, so scratches don’t impact their filtration efficacy.

They have major color distortion; ours is subtle.

Other migraine and photophobia glasses have an orange/red color tinted lens, which can attract unwanted attention. People are seeking a sleek light management tool, not trying to make a bold fashion statement.

Our Avulux® tinted lenses are incredibly subtle.

They aren’t clinically proven; ours is.

Our competitors use great marketing to convince consumers that their glasses are effective. However, their glasses have never been clinically tested or held under scientific scrutiny. 

Our Avulux® lenses underwent an independent, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial. They are the only clinically proven lenses that precisely filter light to help people living with migraine and light sensitivity, when worn as part of a healthy lifestyle.
